1936-D Cincinnati Commemorative Half Dollar, MS67

The Cincinnati Commemorative Half Dollar series represents one of the most historically significant commemorative issues of the 1930s, celebrating the sesquicentennial of the city's founding. This 1936-D example, graded MS67 by NGC (Cert. #4227068008), represents an exceptional specimen from the Denver Mint production.

The 1936-D issue is notably scarcer than its Philadelphia counterpart, with considerably lower mintage figures making it a key date for serious commemorative collectors. At the MS67 grade level, this coin displays outstanding eye appeal with lustrous surfaces and minimal contact marks, reflecting careful preservation since its original striking nearly nine decades ago. The Denver Mint mark adds further numismatic significance, as branch mint commemoratives typically command premiums over their Philadelphia equivalents.

Cincinnati commemoratives remain highly sought-after pieces within the commemorative half dollar market, prized for their artistic design, historical importance, and relative scarcity compared to many other issues from the era. This MS67 example offers collectors an opportunity to acquire a high-grade representative of this important series.
